Cambridge 2016 Postgraduate Entry

Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking - when did you receive this offer (right now?), and is it a Master's or an MPhil?



Congratulations! When did this happen and what subject is this for?

Sorry for the questions, I have been waiting on my application since November and seeing offers start to roll out makes me anxious!

Yeah, you can start celebrating
FYI, in my case, it took 2 days before I received the offer.

Hi! The status changed when I checked at 3 this afternoon, it is for an MPhil in Development Studies. Cheers and good luck to you!

I have been trying to upload a photograph on the self-service page as part of the conditions, but my effort has been in vain. I have called the admissions office and they could not help me. What is the secret?

Have you tried to covert to different files .jpg/.png and decreasing the size of your photograph? There is nothing to be worried about though - the photograph is not displayed in your files when the application is reviewed (apart from the interview files as far I am concerned) and it is only used for your university card, which is issued by the college. So if your application is successful you will be most likely emailed by your college's tutorial office, and then you will just send the photograph directly to them.

I am aware that the photograph is not pivotal, but I want a specific photograph on my student card, hence my determination to have it uploaded. I have converted it to a JPEG format (.jpg) and made sure that the pixels are precise (280 x 336), but it still does not work. I do not understand.

Only that I was among people nominated for Gates by the department......

I received my offer in Beginning of February.

I emailed them about the scholarships and they answered me that it takes few months before you hear anything.

For the Cambridge Trust, my understanding is that the department rank the applications in February and send nominations in March. So I hope to hear end of March, early April.

There is still a lot of time and it kind of sucks though because I really want to know if I will be able to go to Cambridge or not next year (which depends on funding). If I do not get any scholarship, I want to be able to do good decisions regarding my other acceptances in other schools.

My application status has changed to "Application with Degree Committee". Does anyone know what this means?

What course is this for? Mine changed to that too.... MPhil Management.

PhD Physics. I hope this is good news! I went for my interview last week, so I'm glad to see something change at least! Have you had an interview?

Yes I hope so too! My course doesn't require an interview - but I've just checked previous years' thread and it seems to follow up with a status change to BoGS (at least for my course): http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2217656&page=4

Hope all goes well...! Will let you know if there's a change later!

Please do! I am going to be frantically refreshing the page and my emails for however long it takes it to update again!

has anyone in POLIS heard back about funding? i was accepted two weeks ago for a PhD.

POLIS PhD applicant here! When were you accepted? My offer came through around Feb. 5th. Though still no news on funding. Did you apply for CISS/Gates?
